history

Löbnitz village court stone

The place name comes from the Polish and appeared for the first time in a document dated February 28, 1205 as “Lubenize juxta Bodam”. The inhabitants of the small village were mainly fishermen. From 1350 Löbnitz belonged to the Magdeburg magistrate, who sold it to Ludolf X. von Alvensleben in 1573 together with Neugattersleben and other localities . The Löbnitz estate remained in the possession of the von Alvensleben family until they were expropriated in 1945.

In 1781 there were three farm workers, three half-spouses and sixteen kossats in Löbnitz . During the Thirty Years' War , the Swedes under Captain Leslie took the village and laid out redoubts on the Löbnitzer Flur . In 1807, after the defeat of Prussia by Napoleon , Löbnitz came under the rule of the Kingdom of Westphalia established by the French , where it was assigned to the Canton of Stasfurt. After Napoleon's expulsion, the place returned to Prussia in 1813 and, after its administrative reform in 1818, came to the district of Calbe a./S. With the construction of the Schönebeck – Güsten railway line , Löbnitz was connected to the German railway network via the Staßfurt station seven kilometers away. In 1896 August von Alvensleben donated the new St. Andreas Church, which was built to replace the dilapidated previous church. In the same year, a cross stone from the Middle Ages was found near Löbnitz , which was placed on the market square as a so-called village court stone . In 1910 Löbnitz had 338 inhabitants, until the outbreak of the Second World War their number increased to 345.

In April 1945 the place was occupied by the US Army and handed over to the Red Army in July 1945 . As part of the land reform started in the Soviet occupation zone (SBZ) in 1945 , the Alvensleben estate was expropriated in the same year and given to the state of Saxony-Anhalt as a so-called provincial estate. After the Soviet Zone had been converted into the GDR in 1949 , the Calbe district was renamed the Schönebeck district as part of an administrative reform . Another administrative reform in 1952 abolished the GDR states and instead set up districts and formed new districts. Löbnitz was assigned to the new Staßfurt district in the Magdeburg district . As a result, the provincial property was converted into a state-owned property. In 1964 there were 479 inhabitants in Löbnitz.

After the German reunification , Löbnitz came to the re-established state of Saxony-Anhalt. VEG Löbnitz was privatized and in 1992 an industrial area was established. With the territorial reform of 1994, the municipality was assigned to the Aschersleben-Staßfurt district . On January 29, 2004, Löbnitz was incorporated into the neighboring village of Förderstedt, which in turn has belonged to Staßfurt since January 1, 2009.
